KINGFISHER (KOKH) – Two parents have petitioned for a Writ of Mandamus against the Kingfisher School District and State Superintendent Ryan Walters for reportedly failing to stop child abuse at Kingfisher Schools.
“For the better part of the past two decades, KPS has maintained an athletic program that condones and encourages bullying, hazing, violence, and child abuse,” said the petitioners. “Minor children have been sodomized, urinated on, tazed, whipped, beaten, humiliated, and verbally and mentally abused.”
According to court filings, all of the abuse took place under the supervision of KPS coaches and head football coach Jeff Myers, who remains employed by the school district.
